I agree with Sgt. Shultz, what are you defining as a weapon here? A nail in the end of a 2x4 is a weapon, and talk to any prison guard and ask them about what they find made into weapons. In the assumption you are talking about guns and defining them as weapons, I would disagree with that definition. A weapon is usually defined as an instrument in which one uses in an offensive way to harm or exert control over another. By this definition, the shotgun I was using earlier today to trap shoot with is not a weapon. A "weapon" is generally an inanimate object that on its own is not capable of being used as a weapon on its own, but takes a human to turn it into one. But to answer your question, No they should not be outlawed, because in order to do that we would all have to live in isolated padded bubbles.
